HOGNI – hare! hare!
HOGNI is juxtaposition by birth. Raised in the safe hands and vigilant eyes of an 800 people island community, he was given a set of drumsticks while his friends were sent of to Sunday school. And he won’t bow down to no man.
It’s attitude and spirituality. It’s this decade’s Ben Harper. It could be Jack Kerouac had he ever met Lenny Kravitz, The essence of Høgni is to honour your drive and let it be worth the effort.
HOGNI’s first two albums paved a way through the Nordic countries and Europe, leading to rave reviews, national exposure and radio airplay on the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Denmark, Belgium, and Switzerland; HOGNI performed live on nat ional medias, concerts and festivals: Roskilde Festival (’07), Iceland Airwaves (’06), G!Festival (’05-’07), and Spot Festival (’06). He did support jobs for Badly Drawn Boy and Paolo Nutini.
This third album wants more. It is a year’s journey of equal depth and spontaneity under self imposed dogmas. The traditional drum kit was broken down into its components allowing the rhythm to reclaim an indigenous naivety. Every song is savouring a different aspect of this generation’s moral dilemma. It seeks to add to the universal music catalogue.
In January 2009 HOGNI will be performing at MIDEM, one of the most important music forums in the world, placed in Cannes, France.
